Illegal clones, programmable (and profoundly damaged) super-soldiers, an unstoppable extraterrestrial Covenant that has been inexplicably shoved off to the margins, a human rebellion that hasn't really factored into the plot since the premiere, and an emotional through-line carried by one particular Spartan's identity crisis. Rather than walking down the obvious path of crafting a straightforward adaptation of "Combat Evolved," they instead opted for a downright strange detour into a sci-fi universe that almost feels as if it carries the "Halo" brand name as a matter of happenstance. I'll admit I've found myself surprisingly charmed by the unique direction that season 1 showrunners Steven Kane and Kyle Killen have taken this "Halo" series so far, flaws and all.
